[QUOTE="mbasko, post: 522727, member: 4485"] Can't comment on that Simmo. Hopefully they're not encroaching on people's Mining Leases! Putting exclusions (without a fair permission system like WA's 40e) on exploration leases can be a double edged sword. Large companies can lock up large areas of ground under the guise of exploration while doing very little as evidenced by a lot of the mostly rehashed compulsory exploration reports I've read - change of date & box ticked. When this occurs it can lock not only detectorists/prospectors out of areas but also small scale miners. Money talks. I support small scale miners wanting to have a better system of access onto their exploration leases but it needs to be done fairly. Obviously they should maintain the right to refuse access on Mining Leases & get better support in policing that. In NSW outside of Fossicking Districts EL holders can refuse permission to detect/prospect without giving any reason - just a flat no, bugger off. To me that is unfair especially where large companies are doing SFA in the area themselves. [/QUOTE]
